The perfect way to mourn your mundane life.

Not a fan of this specific one but the general idea of this kind of top, where can I find similar tops? I recall they were also popular around 2020, at least in Europe. If you watch love is blind habibi, Safa in episode 2 seems to have some sort of statement top as well, but don't think it's sheer. Would be nice to find it but I can't take a screenshot on netflix.

Thanks!

The above dress is from a UK store called Apricot. Similar stores might be Oasis.

2 questions i'd like to understand about DCF models which I am learning:

1. I understand the difference between growth capex and maintenance capex, but what if I want to only put in maintenance every 5 or 10 years? is there a formula that I can use to say incorporate maintenance capex every 5 years?

2. we assume that assets are ready to use right away but what if they are not? For example, what if I have an asset but some of them are not ready to use, like a forest but some trees are not ready to be cut down or cows and some are not ready to produce milk. My starting revenue would increase every year, presumably by some given growth rate, but my starting capacity would change, so how do I incorporate both?

If you want to take someone sailing on a boat and you ask them if they can swim, what exactly are you asking? Everyone can float if they have a life jacket right?

My understanding is that someone is being asked if they can take care of themselves and/or tread water until they are rescued and/or if they are a strong swimmer, but I could be wrong.

I've recently learnt to sail but when I'm on the water, all of my theory goes out of my head. Can someone please explain the steps of sailing or confirm what I've written below?

1. check the wind direction
2. think of where I want to navigate to and point the boat relative to the wind.
3. think of the points of sail. For the boat's position relative to the wind, change the main sail to the respective point of sail and the wind will catch the sail.
4. use the main sheet to keep the sail in the "point of sail" direction that the wind should be in.
5. make very small movements to keep the boat going straight towards my target
6. once i'm going straight, check the sail if it's luffing periodically and trim the sail if necessary

when tacking,

1. use the tiller to turn the boat around, either pull it fully towards or away from me
2. once the boat is turned around, pull the tiller so that it's now straight and you can let the tiller handle lay on the side of the boat
3. switch sides as usual

thank you!

mother's day tomorrow ;wondering if it's possible to make the dessert in advance because it's easier when they're out of the house so it's a secret. thanks!

this was a weapon that's possibly used in medieval times (definitely long before 20th century). The main part may have been a sword and the hilt could be unscrewed or somehow used as a club. Thanks!

Would this type of dress in navy blue be too much to attend an Andrea Bocelli concert?

No comment, just sad to read these news

The closest word I can think of is a sycophant but that's too strong word and not exactly what I'm looking for. The word I'm thinking of has negative connotations and it's for someone who is friends with different groups but only at a superficial level and isn't necessarily honest about who all they're friends with. This person would be seen as untrustworthy.

many east asian dishes included some ready made sauce like 豆瓣酱 or 柱侯酱 in chinese cuisines or 고추장 in korean cuisine. These sauces make our dishes delicious but unfortunately they are very high in salt and/or sugars. Is there some way to make the dishes with these sauces from scratch or without such high salt/sugar? We often have to add sugar in the dish in addition to the sauces. Thanks.

I'm sure this is a similar problem in other cuisines but my question is just about east asian cuisines.

edit: i'm referring to homemade food, not restaurant food.
